aS# that we may realise our humoi -
ous natures and may not take our¬
selves too seriously , the following is
dedicated to the respective members
of the class .

Robert Blunt
“Bob"

“Let me have audience for a word or two”

All aboard — first stop Rutgers. Here we
go — I rat pin, ability, ’n everything. Bob’s
two aims in life are to go to Rutgers and
to have everybody view the shining button
tacked upon his coat lapel — hence the men¬
tion of it here. And, as the able president
of the class he rises up before his audience
of Senior A’s and calmly flashing his pin in
their faces to dazzle their eyes, claims instant
attention for the word or two he must speak
in behalf of the interest of the class.

A great part of the success of the play
“Smilin’ Through" was due to Bob’s talented
portrayal of the irate uncle and to his
ability for salesmanship which was witnessed
by his sale of one hundred tickets. Oh, yes !
and he can advertise the Independent Press
in a more competent manner than he can
sell tickets. We aren’t exaggerating, either.

Ehith Dyal
“Ede"

“As she looked in the mirror she had to con¬
fess

That the end of her nose was a shining
sue cess”

“ Powder ! Powder ! Who’s got some
powder?" This healthy, ruddy-cheeked
young lady often bewails the fact that her
facial protuberance needs dusting. We
haven’t noticed that the light is any brighter
than the rays reflected from our own noses,
but then — every other girl in the class is too
well occupied in applying her own powder
to observe tide's shiny nose.

Ede’s extreme frankness of speech would
commonly precede that she counsels us in
matters of personal interest, when she deems
it necessary — and she usually deems it neces¬
sary. Quite frequently she wields her rod
of sensibility over us by proffering her advice.
However, realizing that Ede is good-natured
and a friend to everyone in the class, we
consider the source from whence such coun¬
sel comes and use it or forget it as the spirit
moves us.

■Q DjS-

David Hilowitz
“Davy”

“Wit, like money, bears an extra value
ivhen it is rung down immediately it is
wanted

Angelyn Bi rrows
“Ange”

Tell me, where is fancy bred.
In the heart or in the head?

Ladies and gentlemen — we take pleasure in
introducing to you the Money-Man, Davy
Hilowitz, who can squeeze six cents out of
a nickel. Without him, the business affairs
of our Annual and money-matters of the
class would not have been conducted so meri¬
toriously and without his valuable instruc¬
tion we would never have discovered the pho¬
tographer who snapped these pictures. Be¬
cause of this last fact, we’re all going to
give him something — after he graduates. We
want him to graduate.

Davy’s wit is like a ball of mercury —
can’t put your finger on it without it bubbles
up some place else in the form of delicate
slams and apropos remarks. It is impossible
to anticipate his comments and hence we don’t
try to. We have found ’tis best to relish
his latest wise-cracks before he springs an¬
other.

This gracefully gliding specimen of the
piscatory clan is our far famed Ange, whom
you behold in the act of swallowing it (jokes
and wisecracks) hook, line, sinker, and all.
Ange vies with the little fishes in more than
one pursuit, for reports have it that she’s
a perfect shark at what a fish does best —
swimming. We owe Ange thanks for many
a side-ache; she, forgetting that discretion
is the better part of valor, often disports
herself by doing as she jolly well pleases in
class, much to our amusement and delight.
Ange is our star athlete, w’hich probably ac¬
counts for her prolonged juggling of jokes
before they finally sink into the hidden re¬
cesses of her cranium.

As to the caption which you see above —
that speaks for itself. To Ange goes more
than a good share of the credit for the mak¬
ing of this book whose every page, practic¬
ally, shows some result of her efforts.

Ida Raisbfxk
“Ide”

“This sweet young miss has taking ways —
She keeps our fountain-pens for days ”

Before you, kind reader, is the pride and
hope of the Senior A class. We’re proud
of her — and perhaps a little envious, be¬
cause she can spend one-half hour upon all
her homework and bluff the teachers into be¬
lieving she has squandered two hours, but
we harbor hopes as to her reputation, for she
frequently elopes with — our respective foun¬
tain-pens and returns them apologetically the
next morning — or the week after.

Ide offers many contributions to the clever
remarks and relevant slams (wow!) which
whir back and forth among the Seniors.
Often the knocks vibrate so threateningly
that only Ide and two other competitors re¬
main upon the scene of contention.

Ide has much ability both literary (witness
this Annual) and otherwise (meaning her
portrayal of Mary Clare in our play) and
we have to admit she can haul in the marks.

William Porzkr
“Biir

Behold young Lochinvar — the ladies call
him sweet l

A bright blue sweater, a pair of grey
knickers, a natty bow tie — and we view the
hero of our Senior play and the Editor of
our Annual rolled into one. Oh, yes, and
he parts his hair in the middle! We ask you,
what could be sweeter? Vocally speaking,
we must admit that Bill is a little noisy, but
he livens up our classes with his attempts at
comedy and anyway, variety’s the spice of
life.

Joking aside. Bill has enough class spirit
to spread liberally among five other people
and still have enough for his own particular
application. He has been a zealous supporter
of everything our class has essayed and has
effected much toward the success of this book.

P. S. — But the other day, our William
made his appearance looking like gay Lo¬
thario with his hair parted on the side.
Having traveled through an Erie tunnel in
a car which had all the windows open, the
line of division of his hair had moved.

WJS-

Horace Meeker
“Horse”

Such youth, such innocence.

Great attractions for feminine wiles.

Each morning a gentle breeze starting in
Glen Ridge and heading toward Bloomfield,
wafts Horse toward B. H. S. Each morning,
however, he manages to land on both feet,
and the jolt probably accounts for his set¬
tled appearance. It’s a good thing he is
more calm and contented than most artists,
or else we wouldn’t have such fine drawings
in this book. (The art-work is good, don’t
you think? So are the write-ups. We did
them.) And Horse made the cutest Willie
Ainley in our Senior Play ! — mustache, tuck
’n all the trimmings.

P. S. We forgot to mention. Horse, that it
takes you to do most of the calculations in
our chem experiments, and your partners re¬
quested us to tender their sincere thanks.

Wilbur Schreiber
“Wilbur”

This meek and bashful boy zvill soon be taught
To be as bold and fonvard as he ought.

Allow us to introduce to you, Wilbur, who
likes to work and is very obliging — two things
which most people aren’t. He typewrites —
typed everything in this book, and as he
doesn’t say much but thinks lots, we like him.
Wilbur has a perfectly marvelous laugh — not
an uproarious one, but one that comes in
little chuckles from way down in his engine
room and sounds not unlike terrible inward
growlings that indicate insufficient lubrica¬
tion. In other words, Wilbur, you need more
“erl.”

By way of winding this matter up, do
typewrite yourself a long letter of thanks
from us for your work on this book.

Frieda Abend
“Frieda”

“Quickly her fingers wander o'er
The jigging keys of the typewriter floor."

Samuel Pierson
“Sam”

There is some ill a -brewing toward my rest
For l did dream of money bags to-night.

Frieda uses her brain so much that her
hair curls in beautiful ringlets. (Take heed,
girls, beauty hints!) Perhaps in spite of the
attraction for waving tresses most girls would
not do what Frieda does to acquire them.
Kach day at 1 :40, we see an enormous pile
of books trailing out the door of Room 105
with a little girl struggling beneath them.
It is not a maiden in distress, boys, but Frieda
with her homework. What perplexes her
fellow-students is this : We all wonder how
she can always keep smiling and have a
cheery word for everyone when we know that
the night before she burned the candle to its
very end while toiling o’er her books.

Above you behold Rah Rah Pierson, the
man who has plenty of money.* Millionaire
Sam is manager of the football team, and
his pockets bulge out with banknotes and
currency of all sorts— mostly pennies. And
yet, as we always have said, money isn’t
everything; we are forced to extend utmost
sympathies to Sam, for he’s the man who
must collect the money for the “ads” in
this book. Poor Sam ! — he’s more to be
pitied than censured so wre offer him, mixed
in with our best wishes, many thanks for the
noble work he has done in getting advertise¬
ments.

*Note: We’re not speaking of personal
wealth.

n - B£)/S - zs

Michael Adubato
“Mike”

"As true a lover

As cifer sighed upon a midnight pillow .”

“ — with seven Mikes on the end. Come
on boys!”

Hail to one of our football stars — this
lumbering youth to whom we credit fifty per
cent, of our class athletic record. We are
unaware whether it is because he is guile¬
less and good-natured or because of the way
he rolls his eyes or combs his hair that Mike
has attained such popularity among his class¬
mates. But we do know that because Mike
broke his nose and maimed his leg while de¬
fending B. H. S.’s honor in the football ranks,
the school owes him a doctor’s bill which
will never be paid.

He can stand kidding too. Oh, say Mike —
er — who was that girl you were talking to in
the hall yesterday ?

Elsie Anthony
“Elsie”

“ What sweet delight a quiet life affords!”

If poets and philosophers are correct in
saying that most comfort is derived from a
peaceful existence, we would venture to sur¬
mise that Elsie is extremely happy. We fore¬
see her as the prospective stenographer of
some flourishing business manager and we
prophecy that, being uncommunicative, she
will please him because she is different from
the proverbial woman. Should we glance
farther into the future we might — but we will
say no more than that she will please him
for otherwise we might tell more of her
fortune than she wishes. Permit us to add,
however, that the flourishing business man¬
ager might have been a De Molay boy in his
youth.

Beatrice Bennett
“Bee”

“A face with gladness overspread!

Soft smiles by human kindness bred!”

If Bee’s place in 105 is vacant until 8:15,
we know that she has taken time to curl
her straight, brown locks. According to our
expectations she waltzes into English class
at 8:30 with a smiling countenance and wav¬
ing tresses. We’re on to your actions. Bee.
It takes you twenty minutes to curl your
hair — ’fess up, now, doesn’t it?

Nevertheless, when we are burdened by
wearisome tasks, it is Bee who smilingly
translates our Latin or lends us beakers and
who offers her help in fifty other different
ways. Not even under the most irritating
circumstances have we known her to utter
a cross word or to remark about some annoy¬
ing individual. She does everything smil¬
ingly and willingly and therefore, we
prophesy a great future for her. Anybody
who can be kind to us —

Ford Bogart
“Flivver”

“The flash of his keen black eyes
Fore-running the thunder ”

Look at this benign countenance and ask
us not why we can’t find anything wrong with
Flivver. Why it would be impossible for
even the Salvation Army to find anything bad
in him. Perhaps the cause of our lacking
to discover any faults might be attributed to
the fact that he is not talkative. However,
his silence is due rather to the famous adage
“Think twice before you speak once” than to
the emptiness of his cranium. He never
voices his opinions yet we cannot help but
realize that more knowledge lies below his
passive exterior than we have had opportu¬
nity to know. (Let us here mention that
Flivver’s marks in Math are astounding.)

The Annual Board, having just received
more material for the Annual, wishes to add
as an afterthought that Flivver has quite an
aptitude for writing poetry.

Paul Farro
“Pepper”

“0 Cedar Grove I dote on thee!

I sing with exhortation
Of thy stacks of hay, thy mooing cotvs.
And means of transportation!”

Alma Bowser
“Alma”

“Tell the truth and shame the devil”

Here is another foreigner who is proud
of his native land. Nevertheless, he is justi¬
fied for Cedar Grove is truly worthy of his
sentiments.

Possibly Pepper might need an introduc¬
tion because his is a quiet and unobtrusive
nature. There are two exceptions : He’s
quiet when he has not been sufficiently
aroused to expound upon the marvels of
Cedar Grove and when he is not cheering
lustily from the grandstand for Mike. The
High School is deeply in debt to Pepper. To
explain ourselves: B. H. S. owes many
football victories to Mike’s prowess and
Mike is encouraged to win by Pepper’s cheers,
so — to refer to a much- worn geometrical ex¬
pression — things equal to the same thing
are equal to each other.

For amazing frankness wc refer you to
Alma. She will tell you truthfully whether
your tie is crooked or your powder is smudged
correctly, or, better still — whether you are
good-looking or otherwise. Often, we are
either exceedingly complimented or disgusted
to hear Alma’s comment upon our respective
countenances. However, it’s all in a life¬
time. This quality Alma has will be most
adaptable to the life-position she is aiming
for — that of a trained nurse. She will frank¬
ly tell her patients if they have a fatal dis¬
ease or merely measles or whether they are
to live — or die.

All sorts of people make a world and hence
Alma is truly a part of the Overbrookian
atmosphere of Room 105.

Arline Dodson
“Arline”

“Maiden! with the meek brozvn eyes,
In whose orbs a shadow lies
Like the dusk in evening skies!”

If we should wax poetic, we would say
that gazing into Arline’s eyes — careful, don’t
fall in — would he like looking into dark, deep
wells fringed with moss and shadowed by
tall trees. But to return from the clouds to
school -life, we would remark that the afore¬
mentioned eyes are the only means we have
of knowing what Arline thinks, for she re¬
fuses to express herself in any other fashion.
Hence — the little we have gleaned about her
personal characteristics and habits is that
she dislikes studying, is fond of pretty
clothes (we would here mention that she has
a different dress for every day in the month)
and is fine company if you like to roll the
conversation ball.

Morris Goldstein
“Mush”

The merchant to secure his treasure
Conveys it in a borrozved coach.

If you name it you can have it. Aha ! We
thought you’d guess wrong! No, it’s not
what you think it is; it’s Mush (pronounced
almost, but not quite, M-o-o-sh) who drives
around in a contraption something like the
one you see above. Mush wears such an
eternal smile that we take particular pains
in calling your attention to the accompanying
photo, showing what he really looks like.
All those in favor of retaining the smile
please signify in the usual manner — contrary,
no. The ayes have it unanimously, Mush, so
you, like the good skate you are, will con¬
tinue to go about disguised with the smile,
as formerly.

Joseph Green
“Joe”

“Don’t put too fine a point to your wit for
fear it should get blunted

Janet Ellor
“Jeanette”

*7 had a thing to say — but / will fit it with
some better time ”

Joe has the latest Parisian-grin which,
when accompanied by a series of foolish re¬
marks, helps to illuminate the dark atmos¬
phere of French class. It isn’t good taste
for one to laugh at one’s own jokes — but
then we are only envious of such obvious
enjoyment and it is evident we would rather
observe Joe’s extensive smile in preference
to the contents of our French books.

We are not meaning to insinuate that he is
always smiling. One could not ask for a
more serious gentleman than Joe, when he
was helping to pull the curtains or operate
the lights in our play. However he was
doing something useful and Joe has a pro¬
pensity for doing useful things.

It is apparent that Janet could speak often
if she wanted to, but we are under the
impression that she deems the present time
unworthy of her expressed thoughts. When
she does articulate, her words are slowly and
carefully formed as though each syllable had
been prudently meditated upon before it was
permitted to pass her lips. However, we
have known her to become quite animated
in her speech when interesting discussions
of kittens or ministers’ sons claim her con¬
sideration.

Note : We, the Senior Class, wish to ex¬
press sincerest gratitude to Janet for the
many times she has helped to satiate our
respective appetites during lunch-hour.

Eunice Garvin
“Eunice”

“ Among them but not of them"

We have selected the above caption for
Eunice insomuch as she is quiet and aloof
and seemingly desires to walk to and from
school alone. She is among us and yet, prob¬
ably because she makes herself inconspicu¬
ous by her silence, we never realize she is
present. In spite of her apartness she is an
enthusiastic supporter of our class duties —
witness our “Nut” performance in assembly.

Reports have it that Eunice is an adept
at artistry, that she is interested in Biology —
having a large collection of flowers and plants
— and harbors an insistent mania for cross¬
word puzzles. This last mentioned is not
singular for it seems that others have been
bitten by the same bug, however, not to the
extent of wasting all lunch periods in this
fashion.

Fred Haight
“Fred”

“ Good sense which only is the gift of heaven.
And though no science, fairly worth the
seven."

Fred, as Senior member of the now famous
firm of Haight Brothers, has made quite a
splurge in the waters of B. H. S. by assum¬
ing the Presidency of the School Bank and
sensibly conducting his position, at that.
We can even forgive him for hailing from
the place he does (s-s-sh Glen Ridge!) and
would be willing to recommend him without
reservations were it not for the disgusting
habit he used to have of playing ball with
gentle maidens at lunch-time.

However, as Fred has been known to ac¬
quire some touchdowns to his credit and
has ably assisted us in every undertaking,
we consider him a valuable asset to the class.

19 -

James Hampton
“Jimmie”

“Sweet are the slumbers of the virtuous man.”

Perceivest thou yon gentleman with the
ministerial mien and specs ? It is the honor¬
able James Hampton, actor, student, and
musician, whom a favorable wind has blown
to us from the whereabouts of Staten Island.
Without a doubt it zvas a favorable wind for
Jimmie certainly has helped us, being a mem¬
ber of the B. H. S. band and having assumed
with admirable zeal the part of the pacifica¬
tory old doctor in the Senior Play.

You should view him at the ball -games
arrayed in his symphony suit and tooting
upon his horn. He cuts quite a picture ! We
must admit that Jimmie is accomplished — not
all of us can toot upon a horn and hit the
correct note.

Frances Jaeger
“Frances”

“Perseverance gains its mead
And patience wins the race”

Some people know their lessons all the time
and all the people some of the time but not
all the people all the time. (Quite sol)
Frances is a relic — the one individual who
knows her lessons all the time. She never
has the need to bluff, she always does her
homework and is always ready to help one
of her class mates who “was sick and
couldn’t study.” Quite frequently there is
an eleventh hour rush of the Vergil class
around Frances’s desk but, in spite of the
nerve-wracking process of repeating the les¬
son over and over again, Frances still re¬
tains her patience and her placid demeanor.
She will require both of these admirable
characteristics when she becomes a teacher.

Ethel Jenkins
“Ethel”

“Make the doors upon a woman's wit and it
zvill out the casement; shut that and it will
fly with the smoke out the chimney .”

“Comb your hair — it needs it !” “you ought
t<> get a haircut,” “your stocking has a hole
in the heel,” are some of the personal re¬
marks with which Ethel daily greets us. At
first, we were piqued at being counseled
thusly; however, we realize that such utter¬
ances — along with the annoying habit she has
of devouring other people’s lunches — are but
a part of her complex nature and we take
them for granted.

Another convenient characteristic of
Ethel’s is the evident ease with which she
assumes an angelic expression when she is
caught talking or passing a note. Naturally
— she slides out of punishments. Teachers
can’t berate a pupil who has a sweet, saint¬
ly aspect. For two cents we could pinch
her, as we sidle from the room to the lower
regions (the office).

William Kerlin
“Bill”

“ 1 Vj, cigarette, I love thee well ,

In learned doctor s spite;

Thy clouds all other clouds dispel
And lap me in delight ”

Nothing like a good smoke, is there Bill?
Never mind — perhaps if zee had had posi¬
tions as Stage Managers behind the scenes,
we would have considered a cigarette (par¬
don us — a pack of cigarettes) fine respite
from our rigorous labors. As Stage Man¬
ager, Electrical Operator, Curtain-Puller
and First Man at the wedding. Bill certainly
twinkled in “Smilin’ Through” — even though
be did have numerous arguments with Mr.
Crosby as to whether Moony een needed the
pink olivets or the blue moon.

Bill adores an argument or an oration.
If, by chance, you should have peered into
one of our class meetings and should have
spied a tall curlv-haired gentleman wildly
gesticulating and pounding the desk, you
would have known him to be Bill Kerlin,
orating upon some subject of vital interest
to the class.

Albert Lender
"Al”

He looks down on other mortals.

After some meditation we have decided
that the above quotation needs a little ex¬
planation. ( Pardon our aptitude for poetry
— it crops out all over.) We mean that our
noble Albert looks down upon us other poor
mortals because of his great height, not be¬
cause he has any over-estimation of his worth
in comparison to ours. Far from it, for Al
keeps his accomplishments dark secrets and
is unusually modest. We wouldn't even
know he was leader of the band if we didn’t
see him in the act of leading it, nor realize
that he plays the piano in the orchestra, if
we didn't see him upon the platform.

One suggestion “Al,” we’d love to see you
cut some new figures with your baton.

Sabina Mac her
“Sabina”

Beauty, like wit . to judge should he shown;
Both most are valued where they best are
knoien.

Sabina is someone we don’t see as much as
we would like ; we have vague reports that her
ancestral mansion is in Newark, so the great
distance from B. H. S. may account for our
failure to see much of her. On second
thoughts, she probably does come to school
most always, only she makes so little noise
that we never notice that she’s around. Esther
and Sabina always follow each other up; they
complement each other so to speak — Sabina
being relatively tall, and Esther small, and
Sabina being comparatively quiet, and Esther
noisy. Rumors of Sabina’s frequent pres¬
ence at receptions and what not seem well
grounded ; we merely wish we were present
to see her in her glory— we see so little of her
here in school.

Helen Post
“Helen”

for / am nothing if not critical.

The profile you see above belongs to Helen,
who, with the help of much courage and abil¬
ity is getting out in three and a half years.
Ordinarily this would be our cue to state that
we didn’t know Helen very well because of
her short stay among us, but we cannot tell
a lie (just look at these write-ups!) so we'll
say that Helen has made herself quite well
known. As the heroine of our Senior Play,
Helen plucked many laurels, and she has
helped us out otherwise by painting posters
for us when we needed them, giving us
chance to snooze while she recites in P.D.,
and amusing us with her stories.

And we saw Helen bringing in the milk
one morning on her way home from a date —
O-o-h ! What a terrible girl !

Wright Lind
“Lindie”

“ Behold the It 'right who is always wrong!"

Who was always conspicuous by his ab¬
sence at Senior Play practice? Lind! Who
never failed to forget some duty that he as
property manager had to perform? Lind!
W1k> — but we'll question no more for we real¬
ize that Lindie blunders not of his own free
will but of some innate peculiarity which we
might term as dreaminess. Gaze into his
eyes, girls, and just try to tear your glance
away from those sleepy depths!

Never mind, Lindie, we like slow dreamy
chaps of your caliber and we’ll hand it to
you that you surely played the part of the
Goat in our production better than any of
us could possibly do and you didn’t lose your
temper either. You are truly an acquisition
to the class.

io - am

Charles Schoonmakkr
“Giarlie”

Thou art the slumber of the mind
Untroubled , calm, ami quiet.

Lucille Reynolds
“Lucille’’

How she lores its gentle murmur.

How she lores its constant flozv,
Hotv she loves to wind her tongue up,
Hozv she lores to let it go.

We hadn’t intended making this a bargain
sale, so pardon our calling your attention to
Schoonmaker, one of our many remnants
left over from 1924. He’s a nice sort of
chap, quiet and a’ that, although he will talk
in English class — and really, he’s one of the
biggest bargains we’ve ever yet offered. How
this mild gentleman always manages to be
two or three dozen experiments ahead of
every one else in chem is beyond us, but we
deeply envy him.

For a good view of Charlie just come into
the assembly some time, where you’ll see him
sawing away melodiously and sleepily on his
fiddle.

“Life is one demned horrid giggle” to
Lucille : she thinks everything is funny, even
us, so you can easily perceive how optimistic
she is. Whenever you hear a ha-ha wafted
toward you by a gleeful breeze, you know
it’s Lucille being happy over even the worst
thing that could happen. The laugh is her
password. Moreover Lucille’s a very ir¬
responsible young lady ; lend her nothing, for
her memory is short. Do the boys like her?
We rather think so, from what we hear,
and we pray for her victims, for Lucille is
“kinda” capricious.

Virginia Roake
“Jin”

Two dancers arc dancing and taking no rest,
And closely their hands together are pressed;
As soon as one dance has come to a close
Another begins, and each ttterrily goes.

Jin surely does like to dance, and to do al¬
most anything that is well — er — light. By
that we don’t mean that Jin never does any¬
thing serious; she does write clever little
verses, of which you’ll find many back under
the “Feature.” Perhaps you wouldn’t call
writing comic verse a serious thing, but it
would have been to us, if Jin (enter the
heroine!) hadn’t come to our aid. Jin has a
mania for asking unanswerable questions ; a
result, maybe, of reading too much of Dickens
and other “deep” authors.

A Venetian gondola, a moon, and some¬
one singing “O Sole Mio” in a thrilling tenor
voice is Jin’s idea of heaven.

Vernon Sohner
“Vernon”

Company, villainous company, hath been the
spoil of me.

Between his so-called car and bluffing his
lessons this bloodthirsty specimen finds life
much of a hardship. Some day he will be a
great man, or so we think. Why, he says
that out of any old junk whatever, he can
make an automobile that can beat any other
in the country — provided the other isn’t too
fast. Inasmuch as he has already succeeded
in putting a sixty horse-power engine in a
two horse-power car, we predict with assur¬
ance his future success in life.

Go to, Vernon, you’re a good skate, and
afford us much amusement, and that's not to
be sneezed at.

Archie Wykes
“Archie”

In mathematics he teas greater
Than Tycho, Brahe, or Erra Pater —

Eleanor Roberts
“Eleanor”

What shall I do with all the days and hours
That must be counted ere I sec thy face?
How shall I charm the interval that lowers
Between this time and that sweet time of
grace?

Archie! Why you surely have heard of
Archie, a most learned youth ! He keeps the
teachers in constant dread lest he ask them
some deep problem which even they cannot
solve. Some think him especially fitted to
teach in a girls’ seminary — but heaven for¬
bid ! His shiny black head would mean his
ruin — and that of his sweet pupils. Besides,
how could he refrain from showing them
how fast his nifty Studebaker goes? And
now we have it! Its’ the breezes that glue
his hair backward at that charming angle we
all admire.

But Archie, do be careful. You worry us
— some day you’ll get your nose scraped in
one of your accidents, and then what shall
we do?

Whenever Eleanor does come to school
she’s always on the hop-skip-and-jump — not
that we think she’s really doing anything.
She just goes; you know, like one of those
chronic jiggers that fasten on phonographs.
Neither is the aforementioned Eleanor ever
on time for anything or anybody; we bear
a personal grudge against her on this ac¬
count, having waited many weary minutes
for her, standing alternately on either foot,
and cursing the man who ever said it was
stylish to be late.

In our now famous Senior Play Eleanor
made out very well. She is another of our
artists who, by drawing pretty posters have
attracted gullible Freshmen to our dances,
thus bringing in the lucre to us. Many
thanks.

Esther Stier
“Esther”

It's no virtue to be silent.

Marie Schieferly
“Marie”

The windy satisfaction of the tongue .

Esther is our littlest girl. She acts as a
pathfinder, you might think, for Sabina, who
is always in her train. Or maybe it’s the
other way round ; anyway, they’re always to¬
gether. Esther elocutionizes, grandilo-
quates, or does something to that effect and
well do we remember the occasions when
she has stood up before us and orated. We’ve
always marvelled that so little a person
(speaking lengthwise) could have so massive
a voice. Esther’s a pocket edition of Daniel
Webster, so to speak.

Esther, next time we bump into you and
Sabina shopping in Newark when you should
be in school we're gonna tell ! And, mind
you, take good care of your dad’s money
matters, or we’ll see that you catch it !

That caption looks a little bad, doesn’t it? —
but then, they all look worse than they’re
meant to. Merely caricature, dear reader,
merely caricature. We meant only that Marie
likes to talk and laugh and liven up the
atmosphere, and we can’t blame her. Three
and a half years is all the time Marie thinks
B. H. S. is worth, or is it because she likes
our class so much that she’s rushing matters?
All the more credit to her for her good taste.

Marie, you do like to giggle and make a
noise you know, but aside from that you’re a
good student, and we ll admit we’re glad
you’re one of us.

The great obstacle in your way is that
Lucille is going to Normal with you ; you’re
both fine when you’re alone, but when you’re
together! Save the pieces!

We’ll never forget the time we felt like
a ham sandwich ; it’s a rotten feeling, and
we never want to undergo the agonies again,
so here’s our deepest sympathy to Gert, who
so habitually experiences that sensation.
Punctuality in keeping dates is not Gert’s
policy, and man alive but she likes to eat
and dance! S-s-h — Run and close the win¬
dows while we tell you a vile secret — all
safe? — well, she is one of those vague dream¬
ers who wants to play “bridge” well.

Gert, as one of the partners of “Lil, Gert
and Company,” we’ll tell them all what a
good sport you are, in spite of your idle
dreams. Besides that, you’re not afraid to
help out when you’re needed, and remember,
we collect the quarter for that compliment
by to-morrow noon.

This photo belongs to Gert’s colleague in
crime and otherwise. Lil is notoriously lazy,
staying up at nights way past the time
w'hen little girls should be in bed, and then
squeezing in a ride to school. We’re not
speaking of the bus that robs us of our
nickels either. Lil is clever enough to
get free rides. Go thou on and do like¬
wise, gentle reader, if you can manage it.
Clever in more ways than this one, Lil
makes very pretty clothes. Her ha-ha-ha
constantly lets us know that she’s en¬
joying herself — and giving her partners a
good time, too. How about those rumors of
her being bashful? Anyway, Lil is a good
sport and a great help in time of stress;
she’s often helped us make punch for our
dances, and that’s no easy job.

Alice Weiss
“Alice”

Not of a nimble tongue , though note and then
Heard to articulate like other men.

What are we going to do about quiet souls
like Alice, who never even let us know that
they’re around? Of course still waters run
deep — they’re supposed to, anyway — but when
the waters are so still that you’re afraid to
sound their depths we think something ought
to be done about it. At least we see from
Alice’s smile that life merely lies sleeping
within her, and we do occasionally hear a wee
voice talking at us.

Alice plays nurse to one of the dentists
hereabout, and we naturally surmise that
she’ll make this her life work. Accord¬
ing to our prophetic ways, we forsee that
she’ll be successful, since she’ll keep quiet
and let others do the talking, and is, w'ithal,
very calm, patient, and good-hearted.

Ethel Uhri
“Ethel”

Of all the days that's in the week
1 dearly lore but one day
And that’s the day that lies betwixt
A Saturday and Monday.

Here you behold a young lady who loves
the quiet satisfaction of a book. Like all who
studiously sit, she says little save in English
Class where she puts the rest of our poor
brethren out of the running by her unholy
eagerness to recite. (She’s lucky she can
recite, say we.) Ethel is one of our song¬
sters— our one songstress, we should say; it
was her voice you heard soaring up sweet¬
ly to the accompaniment of the harp in
“Smilin’ Thru.”

As an additional attraction, permit us to
add that Ethel eats good lemon drops. These
she passed out generously during our Sen¬
ior Play practices (lemon drops are great
for the voice!) and all the would-be actors
lunched on them. Ethel, we predict that,
with the help of Heaven and a lemon drop
you’ll be a great success.

Alpheus Dixi Crosby
“Dix”

Not e'en Hamlet can surpass this man!

This choice exhibit of a fair, sweet Easter-
lily shows what teaching in B. H. S. will do
to a perfectly good man. O, thou shouldst
hear the ravishing music of that voice and
the exquisite enunciation of those lips * * *
and then you’d believe that the success of
“Smilin’ Through’’ was due to Dix’s able
coaching. Full many times has this prodigy
of learning been graduated from different
institutions, but only we can claim the honor
of having his beaming countenance grace the
pages of our book, for he is our enthusiastic
and much liked faculty advisor. B. H. S.,
and especially the Class of February, 1925,
owes more to Dix’s versatility than it can
ever repay, so we welcome the present oppor¬
tunity to express to him our sincere grati¬
tude.

Marianne Welker
“Marianne”

I'm hungry, oh. I'm hungry
When IK) you think we'll eat?
I'm feeling faint ; I have a pain ;
I'm empty to my feet!

It must be hard to be generous with food
when you yourself live to eat, but Marianne
is just that, so we dutifully proffer offers
of thanks for the many times she has filled
our stomachs with her lunch — good lunch, at
that. Marianne’s extremely good-hearted,
always straightens out collars and lends out
handerchiefs — and she’s quite an artist, too.
She never gets enough credit for her art,
being a very rmxlest young lady ; but she
does paint very pretty candle sticks and
the like. Some day the world will real¬
ize you’re greatness, Marianne. And eat!
Perhaps she doesn’t eat so much, but she
likes to eat, so her lunches are corre¬
spondingly large, and we help her consume
them. Well, the way to a man’s heart is
through his stomach, so rah ! rah ! Marianne,
we’re glad you’re one of us.

Come and sing, all ye Bloomfield girls and boys,
Come and give a rousing cheer !

Join our line as we march along so fine
With hearts that have no fear.

Forward then, neath the Gray and the Red,

We will march in bold array.

So let everybody shout and sing.

For this is old Bloomfield’s day.

Chorus.

Cheer for Old Bloomfield ! Bloomfield must win !
Fight to the finish ! Never give in !

All play your best, boys ; we’ll do the rest, boys,
Fight for the victory !

True we stand to our Alma Mater grand,

Loyal children one and all.

Firm and leal our hearts as true as steel
Faithful to her every call.

Long may wave over all her children brave,

Her banner proud and gay.

So let cheer on cheer ring out on the air,

For this is old Bloomfield’s day.

(Elans €>mui

Tune of “Smilin’ Thru”

The time that will come seems to bring fear and hope
As we leave our dear Bloomfield High ;

But those hopes and those fears
Will bring smiles — perhaps tears —

When we think of you old mother true;

Dear school.

II.

All our friends, our hard work, all our good times with you
Will come smilin’ through sweet memory.

And we’ll live over then
Our old school days again

With each thought of you dear High School true;

Good-bye !

Our school term is a rainboiv bridge
Which spans from shore to shore ,

Our entrance into High School
And the time when school is o'er.

Each traveler on this colored arch
Is rated much the saute,

Like a pilgrim on a journey —

Regardless of his name.

With commencement of his Freshman year,
The pilgrim first essays
To reach the hazy rainbow end, —
Prospective Senior days.

Because the rainboiv tends to bring
Each student to his goal.

With equal due we register
Our schoolmates , as a whole.

The meetings of the I^atin Club have been unusually interesting thus far
this term ; both the Senior classes have entertained us with bits of acting, the
Senior A’s having acted out a good old-fashioned Roman wedding, and the
Seniof B’s having presented “Saccus Malonim/’ “A Sack of Apples/’ which they
acted before the entire Latin department. Now the Junior A’s are preparing
something for our next meeting — something which we hope will l>e educational,
and which we know will be amusing.

One afternoon at the new fireplace built by the Kiwanis Club, the Latin
and French Clubs together had great fun roasting and eating hot dogs.

We look forward to good times that are to come in the future, and we hope
sincerely that the Latin Club will keep on the same successful path.

The French Club, wearing the newly-acquifed pins and rings with a truly
French seal, has been “going strong” this year.

It has more than satisfied its members with the entertainments given at the
meetings, one of which was a one-act play, “L’ Anglais tel qu’on le parle.”

In January a dinner-dance was given which proved to be very successful
and original.

But the French Club is not all “fun and frolic/’ It cares for a small French
orphan across the sea, who lost her father in the war. Several times a year,
little Jeanne Loncle of St. Denis is sent a small remembrance by her friends of
the Club.

Now, with the increasing spirit and membership, and under the able guidance
of Miss Heartz, the French Club feels confident of success in all its undertakings.

The Spanish Club has doubled its membership this term, now having over
fifty members.

A great deal of enthusiasm has l>een shown, both bv way of programs and
social activities. The club is conducting a series of talks on “South America and
Trade Relations/’ which are proving very interesting.

The social events of the term were a Camp Supper held at Eagle Rock in
September, and the club’s first annual Thanksgiving Party, held at the Community
House in November. These affairs were very successful and were well attended.
Plans are being made for the annual trip to New Yorlc in February.

This term has been an active and a progressive one for the club. We hope
the succeeding ones will l)e even more so.

The primary purpose of the Chemistry Club is to stimulate an interest in the
subject of Chemistry and at the same time to give its members the opportunity
of visiting chemical plants and to hear speakers on chemical subjects. This term
a trip was taken to the Times Building in New York, where we watched the
complete operations in the making of a newspaper and also the printing of the
rotogravure section. Everyone expressed the desire that more trips of such
intense interest should l>e taken in the future.

During October the Club presented the school with a radio set, which
was given to the Mountainside Hospital for the use of any B. II. S. students
who might l>e confined there.

All work and no play is not on the schedule of the Chemistry Club, because
the social welfare of the members is not overlooked by any means. At least
one social function, generally in the form of a dance, is held every half-year.
During December one of these dances was held. A large number of members
attended and had a real good time.

The Commercial Club has had an active term, socially as well as education¬
ally. The regular meetings have been of educational value inasmuch as modern
commercial topics are discussed at those times.

A very successful Christmas Party was held in the Gym and a trip was made
to New York in January. The Club hopes to have a skating party some time
during the winter.

The Club as a whole has taken considerable interest in our new High
School Savings Bank and is doing a great deal to make it a success.

The Bloomfield High School Savings Bank was organized during the first
week in October, through the efforts of Mr. Stover, and with the co-operation
of Mr. Fitzgerald of the High School and Mr. Miller, Treasurer of the Bloom¬
field Savings Institution. The purpose of the bank is to encourage thrift and
saving among the students. Monday of each week is set aside as “deposit day.
The school bank is run on the same basis as a regular bank.

The governing body of the bank consists of a President, First and Second
Vice-Presidents, and a Board of Directors, made up of one representative from
each home-room, from whom the officers are elected. It is their duty to create
an interest in the bank and to increase the number of depositors. Each home¬
room has a Treasurer who represents the depositors, and who collects the weekly
deposits and brings them to the bank.

At the first regular meeting held on October 15, it was suggested that each
director give a short talk each week in his home room about the advantages of
becoming a depositor in the school bank. These talks had great influence in the
last month or two in increasing depositors.

At present, a large percentage of the students of the school are members
of the bank. At the close of this term we hope to l>e so far advanced that there
will be 100 per cent, deposits in our new bank.

The Bloomfield High School Orchestra which is composed of fifty-eight pieces,
has just completed one of the most successful years in the history of the school.
Under the directorship of Prof. Smith, this Orchestra has attained such a height
that it is recognized as a leading musical organization of the town.

*«?

$aui>

The latest addition to the musical organizations of the school is the B. H. S.
Band. The spirit instilled in the football team by the Band no doubt contributed
to many victories in close games during the season.

The Band is now composed of twenty-two members and was led. during this
past season by our own Al. Lender. A larger representation is looked for next
year when the membership will l>e augmented by many newcomers to the school.

“Smilin’ Thru” broke all Senior-play records, for this beautiful romantic
comedy that starred Jane Cowl was hailed as the finest play ever given in Bloom¬
field, and it drew the largest audience that ever turned out here for an amateur*
performance.

The cast was a constellation of many stars. Helen Post as Kathleen
Dungannon was a coy bit of Blarney whom William Porzer, as the romantic hero.
Kenneth Wayne, sheiked with the combined cardiac prowess of a Rudie and a
Romeo, only to find her uncle, John Carteret, impersonated by Robert Blunt,
vehemently opposed. Bob was a romantic old pippin, though frost-bitten and
acrimonious in his attitude toward Ken Wayne, the son of the man for whom he
held a hatred unmitigated by the mellowing years. Eleanor Roberts as Moonyeen
Clare was an angelic creation tarrying momentarily like the breath of June roses.

It was on the night of lief wedding with John that her rejected suitor,
Jeremiah \\ ayne portrayed bv Bill Porzer, came intoxicated with blighted love
and bootleg bringing tragedy and despair.

The rest of the cast comprised James Hampton, who was an excellent imperso¬
nation of the genial Df. Harding, John’s life-long friend; Horace Meeker the
ill-starred rustic-romantic Willie Ainley; Ethel Jenkins the faithful servant Ellen,
and Ida Raisbeck as Mary Clare, sister of the beautiful Moonyeen.

A quaint picture of a happy by-gone day was recalled to the older genera-
ttion in the hoop-skirted and plush-collared wedding party, made up of Edith
Dyal, Angelyn Burrows, Marienne Welker, William Kerlin, Albert Lendef and
\\ right Lind. Ethel l hri sang the incidental songs with lingering sweetness.

Ida Raisbeck and Angelyn Burrows were the two sweet spirits at the “End
of the Road,’ tarrying in the misty borderland of Eternity like rainbow colors
dripping through tears of Joy and Sorrow.

Behind the scenes the managing stage hands included the following :

David Hilowitz . Business Manager

William Kerlin . Stage Manager

Although the team failed to make the record that the team of 1923 did, the
season was a great success. At the end of the season it was adjudged the tenth
best team in the State. As one school out of 106 to be reckoned with, this is to
be considered a good showing. The team showed wonderful fighting spirit in all
its games and it was this spirit that carried the team on to victory. Ten games
were played, seven of which resulted in wins for B. H. S.

The games were all closely contested, even those that were lost. Manual
Training came all the way over from Brooklyn to help us open our season. The
final score stood 7 to 0 in our favor after a gruelling battle. The only blemish
on our card was a 22-0 defeat by Dickinson High, who took us unawares one week
later. The South Side game was all ours up until the last few minutes of the
fray, when South Side scored twice. Hambacker s drop-kick was the deciding
factor, and South Side lost, 16-13. Lincoln proved an easy mark and we romped
off with a 27-3 win. Central High School’s State Champions after being outplayed
throughout the first half, took a fall out of us with a 21-0 victory. Two touch¬
downs were scored by our boys against Morristown, and a run of the entire
length of the field was not enough to beat us. Of course we won, 13-7. The
annual Election Day game with East Side resulted in another win, this time to the
tune of 13 to 6. Irvington with its clever shifts, battled hard, but one touchdown
was not enough to make for Ham backer’s scoring. He scored on a touch¬
down and drop-kicked an extra three points from the thirty-yard line. The Camp-
towners went home defeated 9-7. Against Morris High, of New \ork City,
I lambacker’s toe resulted in a Bloomfield victory. This time he kicked two field
goals which made the score 6-0. “1-ost by Six Inches’* might be an appropriate
title for our defeat at Montclair. After a fumble, Montclair scored and managed to
keep on the aggressive throughout the first half. But the second half was differ¬
ent. Immediately after the kick-off, Bloomfield marched the ball to the four-
yard mark, Hambacker dropped back for a kick but attempted a pass which was
grounded. Montclair then took the ball on downs and kicked to mid-field. Hard
work advanced the ball again to within the four-yard line. On the last play
Bloomfield missed a first down by barely six inches. That six inches meant a
touchdown and a possibility of victory, but fate was against us and time was
up shortly after.

The playing of Ernie Hambacker was wonderful throughout the season,
and well did he earn a position on the mythical All High School Eleven of the
State and also the captaincy for the season of 1925. Injuries and sickness kent
several of our boys off the field of play for weeks at a time, but despite this diffi¬
culty, the boys played on.

The following players were awarded their letters: Captain Bert Ellor,
Captain-elect Ernie Hambacker, Fred Haight, Mike Adubato, George Heath,
I^auren Tuttle, John Ruvo, Harry Frantzen, A1 Egan, Earl Hoagland, George
Cort, Pete Rancich, Paul McAlpine, Andy Lobel and Hugh Eadie.

Although B. H. S. misses the three strong players who graduated last

Because the majority of girls are Sophomores and Juniors, it is creditable
to the efforts of the coach as well as of the players that comparatively new
material could be molded into this powerful team. Future success will be
attributed to their frequent practices.

(Girls’ (&$n\ (Erant

For eleven years the Girls’ Gym Team has been thriving under the able super¬
vision of Miss Russell, gymnasium instructor of Bloomfield High School, who has
expended every effort to create among girls an interest in healthful and corrective
exercising, and to give to those who desire it an opportunity to become teachers
of Physical Training. However, until this recent term when Bloomfield was hon¬
ored with the visitation of the State Director of Physical Education, her work had
not gained the deserved recognition. Up to the time of the publication of the team’s
pictures in the Newark Sunday Call, the team had not been brought into much
consideration by other Jersey schools. Since then, the members of the Bloomfield
organization have been requested with the idea that the team is the only one of its
kind in the State — to give an exhibition of their work at the boys’ track meet which
is to be held at Dickinson High School in March.

Miss Russell had organized the Gym Team with a small handful of girls who
seemed to regard the drills and apparatus work as a pleasurable duty and who would
make use of this chance to benefit their bodies. They gathered in the gymnasium
every W ednesday afternoon and were assigned apparatus work according to ability.
Each term, Miss Russell has gradually added to the original number until, at the
present time the team has fifty-odd members and can boast of being one of the
largest and most active organizations in the High School.

The girls who compose the team are those who Miss Russell, through careful
watchfulness during class periods, believes will afford hopes of improvement and
will profit by further instruction. It is interesting to see how rapidly the awk¬
ward little Freshman learns to manage her muscles with strength and grace when
she has been guided by the proper teaching for a year. This opportunity — the
opportunity of attaining grace and precision of movement, is extended to every
girl in the High School if she is interested in herself and her body — and it is hoped
that Bloomfield’s Gym Team has paved the way for other girls in other schools to
have the same possibilities.

1 his year, the Gym Team is under the captaincy of Janet Hawthorne. In
order to earn all expenses for the girls’ basketball suits, the Gym Team allied with
the Basketball Team by selling home-made candy at the football games. This
act added one more honor to the credit the Gym Team had already obtained.

We read on many a musty page
The history of a bygone age ;

An empires rise ; a kingdom's fall ;

A man who triumphs over all,

A puppet, that by Fortune's play
Is placed o'er destinies for a day,

Is fawned on, and acclaimed a god.

That self-same fickle populace
That cries its praises to his face
Will wrest from him his regal sway,
His pow’r that lasts but for a day,

Of hollow fame and praise — must bow
To a new vaunted demi-god.

The reason teachers eat so much
Is figured out this way:

They pay the price of what they eat,

The mountaineers came riding,

Signaling each to each.

Now with a mouse’s squeaking
And now with a grey wolf’s howl;

And again with the mournful and eerie,
(Grim and forbodingly eerie),

The dismal hoot of the owl.

Their rifles were hung in the pack-straps ;

With a tiger’s stealthy speed
They moved down to the lowlands,

(How dark and still were the lowlands),
That slept nor had guards to heed.

And now bv the pale dim starlight,

Like the wind they advanced to attack ;
And never a man from the lowlands

(Ah! silent and still were the lowlands),
Was girt to drive them hack.

And yet ! Ere they loosed a volley,

Ere ever a rifle’s note
1 lad shattered the silent brooding,

(The Spirit of Night’s dark brooding),
Each man clutched his gasping throat.

And finally, during a touchdown
In excitement he pushed me off.

Cross-words, cross-words,

We hear them every day ;

Not only from the puzzle fans.
But — what the teachers say !

Sriluitp to iitarrua (Cirmi

We hail thee, Mafcus Tullius,

We bow before thy noble wrath,

No more oppressors sully us ;

Thine eloquence has made a path
Right through the ranks of wickedness
And left our holy city, Rome,

The peaceful home of blessedness.

While Catiline is forced to roam
An outcast from the marts of trade
And places where men congregate,

Yout speeches do this man upbraid
And force him. sad to contemplate,

Upon the irony of fate.

When he to men declaimed his aim
And promised them a rich reward.

They boasted far and wide his name
And promised to increase his hoard ;

But Cicero, that upright man,

Did so invoke a righteous wrath
That Jupiter and Her and Pan

Adorned their might, this man to scathe.
O Cicero, thy silver tongue

Shall never, never, silenced be ;

Yet all the time thy praise is sung
We kids are doomed to study thee.

A Freshman went home on W ednesday night,
Thinking his homework all just right ;

His math was third period, assembly too
So dear little Freshie his math didn’t do.
W'hen Thursday came the poor boy moaned —
He found Assembly was postponed.

3Fmut& in a iCihrant Drawer

I wish I were a little rock,

A-sittin’ on a hill,

A-doin’ nothing all day long
But just a-sittin' still.

I wouldn’t eat, I wouldn’t sleep,

I wouldn’t even wash.

I’d just sit there a thousand years
And rest myself, by gosh!

There is a boy named Archie
His last name you must know,

I think he'd drive that car of his
Through fifteen feet of snow.

Of course he comes to school in it
And other places too,

But you’d better take a look at it
For soon it won’t look new.

Mr. Walfath’s made a change,

For us it is propitious.

From “Just two things can happen’’
To “Caesar was ambitious.”

The school board visited school the other day and of course the principal
put his pupils through their paces for the l>enefit of said austere board.

“Henry.” he asked turning to one boy, “who signed the Magna Charta?”
“Please, sir, ’twasn’t me,” whimpered Henry.

The teacher in disgust, told the boy to sit down, but old Jed Smith, Chairman
of the Board, was not satisfied. Fixing upon the teacher a severe look, he said,
“Call back that boy. I don’t like his manner. I believe he did do it.”

“I take up Chinese, Spanish, German, Italian, French —
“Oh, you’re a linguist aren’t you?”

The material we refuse,

To compare the pile we cast away
To the little that we choose.

Not that we’re mean or harsh — (not we!)

We hate to “pass the buck,”

In response to the demands of radio fans
the Edison Radio “B" Battery is now built
in 45 volt units as well as the 22 volt
unit. Taps are arranged at 15, 1 7 Vi . 20,
22 Vi* and 45 volt terminals. Connection
is made by Fahnnestock snap binding
posts — making this the most easily con¬
nected storage battery ever sold.

EDISON

Radio “A” and “B” Storage
Batteries

An Edison Radio Battery will
last almost indefinitely. In
much harder services they
have worked over fourteen
years and still show more than
rated capacity. With proper
care the life should be 15 to
20 years in Radio Service.

The Edison Battery is light
in weight and easily handled.
It is clean, safe, and odorless.
It is silent in operation.

The charger is noiseless. It
is free from offensive corrosive
acid fumes. It is free from the
troubles common to other bat¬
teries. It is free from the
noises in reception due to bat¬
tery troubles. It is of strong,
steel construction. It is
trouble proof and can be oper¬
ated by anyone.
